Bibliometric analysis reveals that most research on large vessel occlusions (LVOs) was published in the last decade, driven by endovascular treatment trials. Continued growth is expected as new clinical trials emerge.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Medicine
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Large vessel occlusions (LVOs) are a significant cause of patient morbidity and mortality.
- Current research landscape and trends in LVOs require synthesis.
- A bibliometric analysis provides a quantitative overview of influential LVO research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited original articles on large vessel occlusions (LVOs).
- To assess the current state and trends in LVO research.
- To identify key publications, research output, and influential journals in the field.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 4506 retrieved records from the Scopus database (up to December 2022).
- Identification of the 100 most cited original articles on LVOs.
- Data collection included publication year, country, citation counts, study type, and journal impact factor (JIF).
Main Results:
- Most LVO articles (82%) were published between 2011 and 2020.
- The USA led LVO research contributions (45 articles).
- Key journals included *Stroke* (35 articles) and *Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery* (15 articles).
- Research predominantly focused on LVO treatment (63%) and diagnosis (22%).
Conclusions:
- The surge in LVO research publication correlates with advancements in endovascular treatment.
- The field is rapidly evolving, with significant growth anticipated in the coming years.
- Ongoing clinical trials are expected to further shape the future of LVO research and patient care.

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...

Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
Overview of Blood Vessels
Arteries and Arterioles: Arteries are muscular and elastic vessels that primarily carry oxygenated blood from the heart to body tissues, except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood. They have thick walls to withstand high pressure and contain a layer of muscle tissue, allowing them to expand or contract as...
Overview of Systemic Arteries
Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
